[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I think I’m just resentful, I feel like I’ve been failing in this really stupid thing - eat less food. It shouldn’t be this hard. Every morning is like a little bright light, I can do this! And then the first meal I eat around 9 am is healthy and small-ish. And I’m hungry an hour later. I distract myself, knowing it’s not “real” hunger. But eventually I just give up, because I don’t have the emotional stamina anymore to deny, deny, deny what I want to eat. And it makes me so mad, because it’s 20 damn pounds I could have lost years ago if I could j[b]ust power through the cravings and eat less food for a month[/b]. But I can’t even make it through 12 hours, so I feel like a failure and mad that I can’t just f***ing eat when I’m hungry. I think Stephanie Buttermore articulated this better. Anyway, I’m too vain to go all in and eat all the ice cream I want, but I’m not powerful enough to skip chocolate chips after dinner, so I’m in the miserable Groundhog Day of gaining and losing the same 10 pounds until one side wins I guess. Thank you for listening to my decidedly vain ragings.[/quote]

but the thing is it isn't just a month, sure you can not eat for a month and lose weight, but in order to keep the weight off you need to make real lifestyle changes changes.

One reason why you might be overeating in the afternoons could be because you aren't eating enough earlier in the day and the hunger is building. Eat more protein at every meal. Aim for at least 100g /day. Instead of eating smaller meals that leave you hungry eat 3 larger meals that are high volume, that is sizable, but not high in calories. Focus on protein, veggies, a carb serving and some fat so you feel satisfied. Work the evening cookie into your calories instead of telling yourself you won't eat it and then get mad when you do.
